Passing it down!

After Crew was born Devin decided he wanted his first born to enjoy his blanket like he did. Yep, this was Devin's baby blanket that his mother made and it is now Crew's. We have a routine for Crew when we put him down for bed. First, we enter the room he sleeps in and that is the only thing that we do in that room. It is really one of his Grandmas guest rooms. So he knows when we go in there it is to sleep. He'll snuggle up to me or Dev, we'll sing a few songs, have family prayers, then it's into the crib where he rolls over onto his stomach, tucking his legs under him he holds his arms out waiting for the blanket to be placed over his back, once it is he grips the edges with his little hands and tucks it under his body. It really is one of the cutest things. It makes his dad so proud to see that he loves it almost as much as him.

LEO the LION

Crew loves his lion. But not as much as he loves falling off of it.

First he'll flirt with the edge a bit.

Waits for a reaction from me.

Then dives right into the ground. Some times taking the lion with him. My baby is turning into a gutsy little boy. I'm not sure I'm ready for it.

I'm so glad when daddy comes home...

As I stated in the previous post, Crews favorite time of day is when dad comes home from work or school. The second I tell him, "Daddy is coming home" he shakes his body with excitement, runs over to the window to watch for him and we sing his favorite song, When daddy comes home. Thanks babe for being such a wonderful father. We Love You!

SNAKES, SNAILS & PUPPY DOG TAILS

I should have known this face had TROUBLE written all over it. My little Crew isn't acting so little anymore. I'm trying to teach him how to feed himself with silverware. He must forget he's hungry cause the second the spoon is in his hand all he does is play with his food. He has to see how everything responds to either being shaken, pulled, or hit. He's beginning to understand a lot of what goes on. So we've decided to start him on time outs. It's only day 2 and it seems to be working okay. I know they need to be able to explore and learn on their own, so where do I draw the line. Advise or tips anyone?

Say Cheese!

Other than our wedding, Dev and I haven't had very many pictures taken with each other. So I pulled out our new camera with the hopes that we'd snap a couple of keepers. Ya right! After about 8 shots we gave up. I still don't have a picture of us worthy of framing.
